Viraam: A mindful pause for your screen time
Viraam (विराम, meaning "pause") is a mindful wellness app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, designed for people who spend much of their day in front of a screen.
We built Viraam around a simple idea: healthier screen habits begin with small moments of awareness.
Rather than forcing you to disconnect, Viraam helps you pause, notice your intentions, and take better care of yourself throughout the day.
Viraam for iPhone & iPad (New)
A breath before you scroll
Choose the apps you tend to open on autopilot. Viraam introduces a mindful pause before you continue, offering a slow breath and a gentle reminder of why you wanted to slow down.
Then the choice is yours: Breath Taken or Close App.
You can personalize the words you see, and the experience gently changes between morning and night.
Mindfulness that fits into everyday life
Viraam brings together small practices for your eyes, body and mind:
Guided breathing, mindful breaths and quiet meditation
Eye rest, blinking and palming
Short walks, posture checks and hydration reminders
Mindful moments before meals
Breathing can be guided by sound or gentle haptics on your iPhone, so you don't have to keep looking at the screen.
A calmer daily rhythm
The Today screen follows your day, from sunrise to evening wind-down. Begin with a mindful breath, explore your daily practices, and look back on the small moments you took for yourself.
See your mindful minutes, pauses and weekly activity, along with time on the apps you chose from Screen Time, shown only on your device. You can also save mindful minutes to Apple Health.
Set your own reminder schedule for Mind, Body and Eyes, with a daily limit so reminders never pile up.
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, along with Control Center access, keep a mindful breath close by.
Viraam for Mac
Wellness that works around your workday
Viraam helps you care for your eyes, body and mind during long hours at your Mac.
Take guided eye breaks, practice mindful breathing, stretch, hydrate, walk, or simply pause for a moment.
Choose the practices you want and how often they appear. Reminders can be subtle or more immersive, depending on what works for you.
Thoughtful about interruptions
Viraam can automatically pause reminders during meetings, calls, screen sharing, full-screen activities, and when you're away.
Smart Break Grouping combines overlapping reminders into a single reset, while subtle blink and posture nudges help you stay aware without losing focus.
Focus Sessions, Pomodoro, Shortcuts, Siri and Focus Filters help Viraam fit naturally into your Mac workflow.
Private by design
Viraam works offline, requires no account, and has no ads, analytics or tracking.
Your wellness data stays on your device. On iPhone and iPad, your Screen Time information stays private.
Two apps, one philosophy
Viraam for iPhone and iPad and Viraam for Mac are separate apps, each with its own purchase. Both are built the same way: gentle pauses, private by design, and always your choice.
iPhone & iPad: 7-day free trial on the yearly plan, then $19.99/year, or $2.99/month.
Mac: 14-day free trial, no card needed. Then choose $2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $49.99 lifetime.
Why we built Viraam
Viraam began on the Mac with a simple goal: make caring for your eyes, body and mind a natural part of your workday.
When we brought it to iPhone and iPad, we wanted to address something different: that familiar moment when you open an app without really thinking about it.
Instead of locking you out, we wanted something gentler. Just one breath, in your own words, before deciding what to do next.
We believe small, mindful pauses can make a meaningful difference in how we experience our days.
We'd love for you to try Viraam and share what you think. Every bit of feedback helps us make it better.
